Champagne’s Marathon

Great family week-end… with a 42.195 km run in the Champagne’s countryside. We left Reims cathedral slightly after 8:30 am with a freezing 4°C but a beautiful sunrise.

Right after 3rd km, I came to meet Alexis, owner of the Champagne Lepaul. We spend the morning together, chatting as we ran in the vineyards. This was a very friendly walk in the park… with the kids running with me across the finish line!

Alexis offered us to try his wine after the marathon, along with his wife’s macarons. Great combo!
